Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2004
66 Mr. Kenny asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of public servants employed in her Department who are paid by cheque; and the number who are paid electronically; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21040/04]
View answerA figure of 97 staff members are currently paid by cheque while 1103 are paid electronically. Following a Department of Finance instruction to all Departments to pay the salaries of new entrants to the Civil Service by electronic means from 1 October 2003, new recruits to my Department no longer have the option to be paid by cheque.
